Majority Fools
Poetic critique of systemic injustice
By Hannah AlexanderPublished 9 months ago • 1 min read

What's good for the goose
Is good for the gander
Wrap my neck in a noose
From all that damn slander
What is good for one
Is not good for all
Different lives are spun
Before we even start to crawl
I can talk and talk
Until I'm blue in the face
But your guidelines are chalk
That you refuse to erase
Singular in mind
Solitary in view
Keep on being confined
By everything you thought you knew
A line in the sand
So easy to cross
But your high demands
Mean endless lives are lost
But we have this system
That's confounding to me
It leaves so many victims
So much for "land of the free"
But this is what happens
When you go by majority rules
Peoples lives are blackened
Because the majority are fools
